Soleil d'Or is
a correct type with a delightful pony face. She has been blessed with
a wonderful temperament, infact she stayed usefully employeed in a
racing stable long after it was realised that she wasnt likely to
succeed as a galloper. Her task was to babysit other youngsters for
their first track and gallop workouts. Dam of SF Giorgio and SF Rascalino.
